9. In the Owner list, select whether a particular user
should be responsible for the alarm, or whether it
should be shared by all users. Note that because user
access rights may vary, users in the list may vary
depending on your selection in the Sources list.
10. The Actions section in the lower part of the window lets
you define a number of optional actions:
• Trigger an event: Lets you select if one or more
surveillance system events should be triggered by
the alarm.
• Auto close alarm on: Lets you select if the alarm
should automatically switch to Closed state upon a
particular event. This is possible for alarms
triggered by some (but not all) events. For
example, if your alarm is triggered by a Not
Responding camera, the alarm can be closed
automatically when the camera is Responding.
• Video destination: If video destinations (settings
related to integration of alarms with Milestone
XProtect Matrix; see more in the Central
Administrator’s Manual) have been defined, you
are able to select a destination to which live video
will automatically be sent when the alarm occurs.
You can only select a video destination if you have
defined one or more cameras among the alarm’s
Sources and/or Related cameras.
• Start video viewing: Lets you control how
recorded video of incidents will be presented to
users. By specifying a number of seconds in the
field, you can make the displayed video sequence
start a number of seconds before the triggering
event took place. This allows operators and other
personnel to also view what took place prior to an
alarm. Use of this feature requires that recorded
video from before the event will actually be
available, for example because the required
camera always records, or because pre-buffering is
used for the camera in question.
